The scans reveal two new drum sets for the game. The first is an improved version of the standard kit which supports cymbal add-on expansions and boasts quieter, velocity-sensitive drum pads and a metal-reinforced bass pedal. The second is a sold-separately premium version derived from the Ion model shown at CES, which features a full set of pads and cymbals and functions as a true synth set for those wanting to take their drumming to the next level.

The first batch of confirmed songs for the title include "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold, "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett, "I Was Wrong" by Social Distortion, "Livin’ On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi, "Rock'n Me" by Steve Miller Band, "Testify" by Rage Against the Machine, and "White Wedding Pt. 1" by Billy Idol. I don't know about you, but as a dedicated Rock Band drummer, now I'm officially excited.
